Here is my class code

its giving me a error


A file found in a source-path can not have more than one externally visible
definition.



package FlexScriptlets
{
import components.dashboard;

public var actualView:Class = components.dashboard;

public class flxScript
{
public function flxScript()
{
}

//Get the view and change it in the stack//
public function getView(viewClass:Class):int
{
var descriptors:Array = views.childDescriptors;
for (var i:int=0; i<descriptors.length; i++)
{
var descriptor:ComponentDescriptor = descriptors[i];
if(viewClass==descriptor.type) return i;
}
throw new Error( "View of " + viewClass + " not found.");
}


}//End Class
}//End Package

Put your var inside the class declaration.

Now it gives me a error on this line

var descriptors:Array = views.childDescriptors;

this is because views isn't defined. What object should i define views as.

here is the error it gives me

Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: ComponentDescriptor



Thanks..

You may need to import the ComponentDescriptor class in your imports in this class.

It fixed the one error now it has troubles on this line

var descriptors:Array = views.childDescriptors;

its complaining about the views

what would i have to declare views but what object is views declared as.

Maybe you need to import views as well.
